    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    And if there's one thing a translation shop loves, it's gotta be documentation... Oh boy. Commiserations, buddy.

    What are you playing?

    Loved the first Dishonored, started 2 and never finished, I should restart it, I love that world, it's just that it's so... bleak. But yeah, that "see through walls" power is always the first thing I go for in every one of those games I've played (Dishonored, the modern Deus Ex, Alpha Protocol...

    Well, it's done. Grandpa was laid to rest today. Lovely ceremony. The Royal 22e Régiment's Band CO and his Sergeant-Major were in attendance, and they had a trumpeter who played The Last Post. It was beautiful. Afterwards, lots of catching up with family we hadn't seen in years. It was a good...

    Weird weather

    We got a severe storm/tornado here yesterday in my part of Québec/Eastern Ontario. Over 200,000 people without power, currently 5 dead. And more injured. Plus all the trees downed and the damage. Winds were blowing at 140 km/h (that's about 87 miles/hour I think). We twigged it wasn't just a...

    Yeah, Bubble captured my thoughts perfectly as well. You definitely pass as a woman to me. You also look... at peace, if that makes sense. Comfortable. Also, we have a similar expression in French (at least in Quebec), where we'll say "merci pour les fleurs, j'attends le pot" (literally "thanks...

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    I think we're pretty much out of the woods now. Still some coughing, spittimg and a runny nose, but the worst bit for me was that my back REALLY hurt yesterday. Quick soak in the hot tub fixed that, though. Also had a brief bout of fever Friday night, with chills bad enough that I had difficulty...

    Well, wonder no more. Positive test get. Light positive, but positive nonetheless. So far, COVID seems to be a scratchy throat, some congestion and some light coughing. More an annoyance than anything. For me, anyway. I am fucking BLESSED.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    Well, wife just tested positive for COVID. Only minor rant because so far, all she's got is coughing, spitting up mucus and fatigue. No fever, and coughing is in fits rather than constant. Also, I'm fine. So... Yeah. After my sister, her kid and both my parents catching it on their Easter visit...

    My spouse

    Make sure they check for a urinary tract infection. My wife used to work in health care and she says they can cause stroke-like symptoms like you describe. It also happened to my grandma last year. Everybody was talking stroke, turns out it was something else completely. Best wishes to you and...

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    On Monday, I got to go see an actual, honest-to-goodness heavy metal show. It was in Laval, a different, though nearby, city, so I left on Sunday and returned yesterday. I got to see Judas Priest (for their 50 Metal Years tour) with Queensryche opening. Didn't know Qyeensryche outside of their...

    No! Bad bhamv3! Bad! Health first! Always always alway! Those translation cases will still be there when they fix the problem. They are NOT worth getting sick over.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    If it's hard-boiled eggs, I've never missed by using this method: 1. Take them out of the frudge; 2. Fill a pot with water and set it to boiling; 3. Fill a bowl with very cold water; 4. When the water is boiling (doesn't have to be a strong boil, just some bubbles), slowly lower the eggs in...

    I'd extrapolated from walking in such weather, but I confess to limited biking experience, especially in winter. You're a braver man than I, Mr. Piers.

    Spending the week at my wife's family's farm. It's lovely, the whole family's there (basically, this is our Christmas) and today I went snowshoeing with my brother-in-law and most of my nieces and nephews. Look (limited selection because no Wi-Fi, only head-shot is me):

    Basically this. Also, netsirk put it better than I would've (because while I'm also a giant nerd and a professional linguist, I'm also VERY lazy).
